I've been lax with using Frontline Plus and as a result, my two kitties got fleas. I gave them both one Capstar tablet then applied one pipette each of Frontline plus to their necks/shoulder blades. They groom each other and I'm pretty sure my female licked a bunch of the medicine off of my male cat's neck. ( because of the flea problem, I treated them and left them outside overnight. They are both indoor/outdoor cats, so this isn't a problem.) When I went to let them in the next morning, I noticed a giant black hairball on one of the patio chairs. I assume this is from my female cat because they really cannot Reach where I applied the medicine on their own bodies. I'm guessing she licked his off while she was grooming him, and then threw it up. It's been about 48 hours now, and they're both perfectly fine. I'm just wondering if I need to reapply the medication. I haven't seen any flea activity on her (she's white/gray so it's easier to see the fleas on her) but we do have a few in the house because they've been biting me. I want to be sure that there's enough medication in their systems to kill any fleas that they pick up in the house if and when the fleas bite them. Please note--were by no means infested in the house, so it's not as if I walk in and see them hopping around or anything, but I did kill one on my sons comforter the other day (our male likes to sleep on my sons bed). Would it be bad to split one pipette between the two cats to err on the side of caution, or should I take a wait and see approach? Like I said, we do not have an infestation in the house, and id like to keep it that way! [emoji]128528[/emoji]
